I am delighted to spotlight the Valley Plaza Library in North Hollywood for being awarded $103,592, and the San Fernando County Library for being awarded $36,000, through the State Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program!
The Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program provides libraries with the opportunity to apply for state funding to expand their buildings, stay on top of maintenance, and/or increase digital accessibility for the public.
